I like this. Team is finally heading in the right direction.
I'm not really sure what to think. We'll find out if he can play or not really soon. I struggle to believe the hype that he would have been a top-10 selection in a normal draft class, like some has stated. Supposedly we ended up with the second selection of round two and only the Bills could have outbid us. So tossing in a likely high 2nd probably means we weren't high enough in the 3rd round order to get him. I'm speculating that Holmgren refused to let Dan Snyder stick it to him again. H&H typically take guys with several years production. Because it's out of character, I feel like it's a reach even if he is good, and an indictment on our current receivers. We all knew they sucked as a unit anyway, but this is a bit of an admission. It definitely took balls to make the pick and it's a small indicator the the organization feels it's getting close to being competitive.
Yeah, usually when I think of "the right direction" I think of a 2nd round supplemental pick on a guy who hasn't played in a year with a couple marijuana arrests which got him kicked out of school.

Love the people acting like they know what they're talking about in this thread. No idea if this is a good move or not, but I do like that we are taking a risk for once.

Yes, because we all know a guy who smoked weed to get kicked out of school is such an insane risk that if he fails, it'll push our rebuild back 5 years, at least, and result in the firing of everybody..
Low risk, high reward.
Great pickup.
I admittedly have never seen him play and am just going by what I've seen & read, but IIRC, people on this board were clamoring for us to take a shot on him even before today..
Not sure how you can say low risk. Gambling a likely top 35-40 pick next year is assuredly risky. Will agree with the high reward portion. Wish there was a way to see what other teams bid. I'd feel a lot better about this if it was a 3rd rounder.
